Is the Mailman/ directory shared? If not, what is the value of VAR_PREFIX, QUEUE_DIR and INQUEUE_DIR in Mailman/Defaults.py or Mailman/mm_cfg.py on the frontend? I.e., are the queues NFS shared with the backend? I'm guessing that the message gets put in the qfiles/in/ queue on the frontend and this is not the queue processed by IncomingRunner on the backend. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
